LYRICS

I once was lost in sin, but Jesus took me in

And then a little light from Heaven fill my soul

He bathed my heart in love and He wrote my name above

And just a little talk with Jesus makes me whole

Now let us have a little talk with Jesus

Let us tell Him all about our troubles

He will hear our faintest cry

And He will answer by and by

And when you feel a little prayer wheel turnin'

And you will know a little fire is burnin'

Find a little talk with Jesus makes it right

I may have doubts and fears

My eyes be filled with tears

But Jesus is a friend who watches day and night

I go to Him in prayer

He knows my every care

And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right

Now let us have a little talk with Jesus

Let us tell Him all about our troubles

He will hear our faintest cry

And He will answer by and by

And when you feel a little prayer wheel turnin'

And you will know a little fire is burnin'

You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right

Now let us have a little talk with Jesus

Let us tell Him all about our troubles

He will hear our faintest cry

And He will answer by and by

And when you feel a little prayer wheel turnin'

And you will know a little fire is burnin'

You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right

Right, right, right
